Double tap to fly?

[SSakuras]

O_o So I used to be able to just press space bar to jump up and start flying... but as of last night I suddenly have to double tap the space bar? It isn't a huge issue I guess, but it just started out of nowhere. Was fine one moment, and the next bam... I couldn't fly. Took me a little bit to figure out I had to press space bar twice. I have to jump, then while in mid-jump press space bar again to start flying. It's... odd.

Edit: Fixed! I somehow did a dumb I guess and didn't even realize it? Feel free to close this thread.

That is odd. Can you check Character Configuration, Control Settings, General, Flying Mount Takeoff?

I found it... -__- I don't recall ever changing it, but it is fixed. That's exactly what is was too, Mr. Magic. I just figured it out right before seeing your post lol.

Somehow in Character Configuration, under General tab, and the section for Flying Mount Takeoff it had switched from the Auto: Take off on jump over to Manual: Take off on double jump. It's literally in the character config, I'm just confused how it changed. xD I must have.. accidentally clicked it when changing another setting and saved without realizing it?? I didn't even know that was an option, after a couple years of playing the game!

Thank you for the response! I'm glad it was such a simple fix, I just missed it the first time I was going through my character settings cause I never noticed it was in that weird spot. I kept checking my keybinds thinking I messed something up in there lol.
